Warrior or Rogue?

[Jorvaar]

Hey guys, just starting on green as a trio with a druid and a mage. I'm debating between a warrior or rogue (probably a wood elf cause I like them). Any suggestions on what you'd choose between those two and why?

Warrior because rogue won't get many chances to backstab with that trio.

Also warrior is the best class.

I'm very new to the server, but doing a /who all count war, it seems the server is short on warriors (probably rogues too).

Both classes can't solo, and can only perform in a group. However, a Rog needs another Tank in the group, whereas a War can be the solo Tank with in a group of casters / healers -- so it's easier to form a group as a War.

Also, if you play with your friends, War would probably be better. As a melee player, the mage pet will never be able to get aggro off you -- so you'd have to tank.

Warrior is the only viable option between the two for that trio.

You could play a rogue, it wouldn't be that bad, but you don't want to tank in classic gear lol. You will have more fun with a warrior being able to tank your group will be super efficient.

aye, go warrior, they're an amazing class. Plus, in that group you can consider your mage the rogue of the group. Mage's main offering to a group in classic is DPS, they never even get root!

Warrior is the only viable option. But ideally I'd go 3 casters. Enchater or shaman or necro could work

Pretty overwhelmingly warrior. Think I'll go that route. I appreciate the 3 caster feedback as well but I like to run up and hit stuff and with the other two in the trio I figure I'll be fine.

Using a rogue in this scenario is like trying to use a Ferrari to pull an RV. Good tool, wrong job.

[Philistine]

I agree with everyone else :) Warrior seems like a decent combo with druid and mage - or maybe SK for some nice tankage while still getting invis and being able to FD pull if y'all decide you want to do an indoor dungeon?

Rogue would be a great addition, if he/she enjoys chasing a merb to backstab it, while that said merb is chasing the druid. Another mage would be sweet. 2 mage pets and druid to buff/heal. Level fast
